The eldest lady is very attentive to the works she likes. Although the last time she came to the crew and asked Hayato Minato to work overtime, it was revealed that her work efficiency is so high. A large part of it is that her subordinates are capable enough, but isn't that what work is? If you pay attention, the efficiency must be higher. Stargaze’s overtime pay is still very considerable.
Encouraged by enough bonuses, the invitation and main cast list of "Umi Street Diary" were quickly integrated into a complete shooting plan, and the contract was sent to Hirokazu Kore-eda.
The contract should be such that even a major international director like Hirokazu Kore-eda can't help but smile. Even if the main actors of "Ume Street Diary" are semi-fixed, he still prefers to accept it.
But before officially signing the contract and confirming the shooting plan, he had to carefully study the work, confirm the shooting plan, and said he wanted to see how the selected actors were doing.
Kore-eda Hirokazu can just think about it. Anyway, this kind of literary and artistic film has to be polished slowly. He and the eldest lady are not in a hurry to make money with this work.
As for the actors, there is no need to worry too much about whether he has any big opinions. The eldest sister, the second sister Haruka Ayase, and the second sister Masami Nagazawa are such a luxurious lineup. The three sisters and the four sisters combined have a total of four candidates for him to choose. It is probably just a matter of consideration. The face of a great director just needs an excuse to "think".
Don't say "art cannot be compromised." The bigger the director, the better he knows how to compromise.
Compared with Hirokazu Kore-eda's slow motion, Hayato Minakami and Nao Fujiwara's speed is as fast as ever. As the time approaches the end of the year, the final chapter of the legend is announced to have been completed. Next, we only need to confirm whether there is a need for reshoots. shot, then the great director on the water still had time to take a short New Year's holiday.
As for Fujiwara Nao, it was faster. The plan for "Umi Street Diary" was given to Kore-eda Hirokazu. While urging people to follow up, the contracts with Ayase Haruka and Nagasawa Masami were initialed. , Nagasawa Masami’s contract was printed out by Hashimoto Nanami that morning; the other two roles were notified to the four candidates, and they also entered the stage of reading the original works in advance, figuring out the roles, and preparing for auditions.
Also, the record company has released single records by AKB48 and Nogizaka46, and has also released online albums for some of the musicians who have signed contracts; Station S continues to promote self-produced variety shows, and does not let go of the copyrights of other film and television dramas. The video and live broadcast aspects of video hosts also continue to develop.
Even at INS, where Hayato Minakami mainly controlled the direction, she had time to follow up on the year-end summary and staff year-end meeting plans.
What? Why does Mizumi Hayato know so clearly, you ask?
That's of course because all these materials were integrated by Hashimoto Nana and handed to him when he was relieved after finishing the project and preparing to take a vacation.
Hashimoto Nanami means don't ask, it doesn't mean anything to her, it's all about the eldest lady.
What the eldest lady probably means is that he is idle anyway, and if he is not given any work, he goes out to pick up girls every day and cause scandals.
While shouting slander, Minato Hayato also spoke plausibly to the eldest lady: "No wonder you seem to be able to complete so much work in a calm and efficient manner. It turns out that it is all left to your subordinates."
In front of the eldest lady, Mizuna Hayato still considers himself a subordinate. Although the cooperative relationship between the two is now basically equal, how can a boss and a subordinate not be a kind of PLAY?
"Yes." Fujiwara Nao nodded without any intention of denying it: "I remember you said that if you don't lead a team, you will have to work until death."
"..." Minakami Hayato was speechless for a moment.
Mainly because he himself forgot whether he said this to the eldest lady when he was running on the train.
But now that the entire Stargaze group is getting bigger and bigger, Mizuna Hayato can't help but pay attention to some of the latest changes.
At present, apart from the filming of Hayato Minakami's movie, Stargaze's most important project should be the recruitment of second-generation students in Nogizaka.
According to the previous plan, the selection of the second phase of students is already in full swing, and has officially entered the "new version of the live idol talent show variety show".
The popularity is very high. The first two issues have already occupied several hot topics on S station. The second phase students of Nogizaka46 became popular before they even debuted.
The finished product of the entire program has been significantly modified from the original plan. Even the people who came to participate were not entirely for Nogizaka46. There were also many trainees "recommended" by other entertainment agencies mixed in. , many of them have been practicing for two and a half years, and some of them even come from entertainment agencies with well-known female idol groups such as AKS (AKB48 Grey (Good Morning Family), Stardust, etc.).
However, these are all hidden information, and they are here just for gold-plated reasons. If they really join Nogizaka, they may be worried about the firms behind them.
"There are even people from Sony Music among them." The eldest lady checked the backgrounds of the candidates clearly.
"It seems that Sony has a back bone in his head." Hayato Minakami replied.
Nogizaka46 is on the rise. Driven by the power behind Stargaze, it is gradually showing a trend of making huge profits. Sony Music, which was already ready to make a move, is now making more small moves. After all, most of Nogizaka's shares now belong to Stargaze, and their Sony family is a big business. I can't bear this grievance.
"It doesn't matter. I just want to run this group well. I'm not interested in anything else. Even AKS has been trying to take back AKB's record publishing rights. It doesn't matter to me." Nao Fujiwara habitually crossed her arms at the other end of the video. , suddenly wrinkled his nose, and said cutely: "But since they are unwilling to give up Mayu Watanabe to me, then let them hold it in for a while, otherwise they will bleed heavily."
Getting rid of AKB48's recording rights was also the result of a discussion between Minato Hayabusa and Otachi. It wasn't because it was no longer profitable. On the contrary, it was very profitable. However, Nogizaka46's upward trend was obvious, and it was time to remove the connection between the two.
Moreover, AKBGROUP's store is getting bigger and bigger, which is a bit dangerous. Anyway, the recording rights of the sister group are not in Stargaze. Just when the company behind them is in urgent need of the recording rights of AKB headquarters, Lion opened his mouth to sell it.
"Matsui is not bad either. He is a good fit for our group." Hayato Minakami smiled.
"That's true." Fujiwara Nao nodded.
"But then again, the selection of second-generation students is so big now. Doesn't it go beyond our original intention of selection?" Hayato Minazin said again: "Look at the current popularity, there are a few people who feel even more powerful than the first-generation students. , now that I have joined the group, how can I deal with the relationship between the first and second periods?"
